Re: Blackish/Brown Sludge on Ring - Intex Easy Set
In most cases this dark deposit at the water line is caused by sun tan lotions, body oils, hair conditioner and so on. To help prevent it you can put a "scumbug" or "scumball", a special oil absorbing sponge, in your skimmer. I've found them at my local pool store. They are inexpensive and last for a few seasons. Just rinse them out in the sink when they get dirty. I've had considerable success in gently rubbing the scum line with a Magic Eraser. You do not want to use Soft Scrub or any soap products.
